Trying to use traceroute i get folowing error:

root@larry:~# uname -a
Linux larry 2.5.60 #20 Tue Feb 11 17:38:42 EET 2003 i686 unknown
root@larry:~# traceroute www.kernel.org
traceroute: findsaddr: Can't find interface

Networking works....... but command route can't give me the status of
default route:

root@larry:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use

127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo

127.0.0.0/8 dev lo  scope link
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0  metric 1
root@larry:~#

The version of traceroute is 1.4a12
The version of route is net-tools 1.60 / route 1.98 (2001-04-15)

iptables doesn't work as expected too.....

root@larry:~# iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
root@larry:~# iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

everything works fine with 2.5.59 and 2.4.20

I can provide any additional information if needed

It is deliberate.  It directly reverts a bugfix which was recently merged.

Apparently the problem is that this combined with recent seq_file conversions
has resulted in changed format of some /proc/net/foo files, which is
confusing some network admin apps.

It is being worked on.

Can't we do: 

-			if (iter->zone->fz_next)
+			/* if (iter->zone->fz_next) */

or something similar? Is much less confusing ...
